I haven't tested it in factory (yet), but in 11.0 I have to run: make install checkinstall because the first run creates the directories. If I skip that step, checkinstall fails because it can not create the directories (Bug 432497) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Thanks Carlos; This bug has been out since Beta 8 and is still a problem with RC1. I was told by someone else that there is a RPM that fixed it.

I don't think this is the bug you reported, the one you reported has to do with BUILDROOT while this one is the age old one where some packages not being able to create install directories, so you either have to make them manually or do "make install" to create them, then do "checkinstall".

Can it not be repaired? If you are building your own packages which sometimes we have to do when the openSUSE package is lacking required features, it helps to keep the RPM database sane.

No It was a version from zypper that had a date - checkinstall-20090609-1.1.i586. And it just worked on cups. It seems to be repaired version of 1.6.2 because it asked for (R)=RPM.

Thanks Sid I'll get the version from factory and try it.
The devel:tools repo has also the new version for oS 11.2. Philipp Thomas packages that version for 11.2 and factory, for which we have to thank him a lot, as he doesn't use nor likes checkinstall :-) Unfortunately, even this new version has old problems. In my case, it fails to create directories, and exits. My guess is that it is somehow testing to see if the directory, say, /usr/local/bin/something exists, which fails, because the directory was really created somewhere under /var/tmp/tmp.fpUCiqhLe or some other temporary target. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
